So Tuti walk up the ladder with a couple of points and a big boost on the NRR. The Veerans have a bit of soul searching to do. But that's for later. Now quick, hop tabs, the build up to the next game has begun. Ta ta!!

Kaushik Gandhi is also the Man of the Match.

Kaushik Gandhi: It was good to start off with a win. We were focussed on the preparations and everything went to plan. I remember you (LS) telling me that I need to convert my starts into big scores and today I made sure that I was there till the end. I am a firm believer in contributing to the team and will look to do that and leave the rest to others. It was a top-notch performance from us today but there are areas to improve upon for us which we'll do on returning to the drawing board.

Baba Aparajith: I think they went 30 runs ahead. We didn't bowl to our plans but it's good that it happened in the first match and we can come back from this. We need to take wickets in the powerplay since the last five overs can go for 70 as well. Some of the batsmen batted well and there was no shortage on effort.

18:37 Local Time: The Veerans were never in the contest. Ever. Yes 191 was a lot, but they kept losing wickets at regular intervals right from the start and never let the momentum build. Aparajith started off well in a decent partnership with Vaidhya. But once Vaidhya went, he slowed up, ate balls and fell. Subramania Siva did try to take the attack to the opposition with a couple of big overs, but alas, he was all alone, too late. All the regular bowlers shared the spoils, with Davidson in particular impressing with his slingy yorkers. And not to forget the nagging spin of Sai Kishore. Eventually, it was Kaushik Gandhi's masterclass that was too good to overhaul, collectively. Stay put, the presentations are coming up.
